Notes
JP Morgan Corporate Challenge - Boston Commons
58th overall....2nd Woman.....Watch Time of 20:07/08, Gun time of 20:10 (on website)
The had us line up like 20 min early so no one could move or do anything which was lame and then the horn went off and I tried to go behind our Raytheon guys so I didn't get trampled...hard left turn right away which was rough
Goal was 6 flat pace but that didn't happen as my first mile was 5:25.66...once I saw that I thought I was going to be done for....second mile was much slower (5:56) and I started to feel dehydrated and got some chest pain....grabbed a cup of water at like 2/2.5 mark and couldn't figure out how to drink it (hard plastic cup) while still running so I just poured it all over my head which felt awesome......5:46 third mile and then just trying to get to the finish....definitely could feel that I needed water as I lost all hearing in my right ear lol (which I didn't get back for a while and kept going in and out on the cool down)...saw some kid I was talking to at the starting line and passed him with 300 ish to go as he gave me the thumbs up...got slowed a little bc the people were telling me I had to finish on the right side and men on the left and I guess almost got passed by my fellow BRTC teammate at the line (we have the same finish time)
Was very humid out (90%) and my singlet was so wet you would have thought I took a shower in it
Glad to have surpassed my goal of beating 21 min and did well for team Raytheon and finished the race (def were some quitting thoughts as usual)...fingers crossed I did well enough that our coed team wins and gets to go to the Championships which hopefully is somewhere cool
